There is not in his sedan that Mitsubishi intends to make the household, as the Japanese manufacturer also includes a complete overhaul of its Outlander SUV in 2013. It appears, for the moment, a figure both simple and elegant. In contrast, the interior lacks personality and comfort.

The Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 is specially designed for adventurers, because in addition to providing a towing capacity of 3500 lbs, it ranks among the vehicles most reliable, secure and robust in its class. It comes in four versions – ES 2WD, 4WD ES, LS and XLS 4WD S-AWC – whose base price ranges from $ 27,895 and $ 37,095. Certainly, the Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 does perhaps not all technologies and accessories than its rivals, but off the beaten path, it is by far the most versatile compact SUVs currently available on the market.

In its basic version, the Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 is equipped with a 4-cylinder engine of 2.4 liters. The power of the latter amounts to 168 horsepower and 167 foot-pounds of torque. It allows the SUV of the Japanese manufacturer from 0-100 in 9.8 seconds, a respectable performance considering the fact that it is coupled to a transmission CVt series. Despite its 1700 kg, the Mitsubishi Outlander 2013, when equipped with the 4-cylinder engine, a fuel consumption of 9.1 L/100km average in city and 7.0L/100km on the highway.

The LS and XLS benefit for their 3.0-liter V6 developing 230 horsepower and 215 foot-pounds of torque. This is mated to a 6-speed automatic, which allows him to subtract one second compared to the 0-100 4-cylinder engine. Equipped with the V6, Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 shows a consumption of 11.0L/100km city and 7.9L/100km on the highway, which is better than average.

Despite the fact that the Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 is not as trendy as these rivals, it offers a very spacious cockpit. In addition, it is one of the only SUV market to offer a full control of the traction that lets you choose between three modes.

The Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 does not fit in style with the elegant silhouette, alloy wheels and 18-inch aluminum roof panel. However, when we look at the overall design, we understand the reasons why Mitsubishi Outlander will present a new for 2013.
